Racing Dudes Top 20 Kentucky Derby Rankings #12

5. Gun Runner

Derby Points/Rank: 151 Points – 1st

Race Record: (5) 4-0-0

Earnings: $906,920

Breeding: Candy Ride – Quiet Giant

Owner: Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC and Three Chimneys Farm

Trainer: Steve Asmussen

Last Race: Fair Grounds: Grade 2 Louisiana Derby on 3/26/16, finished 1st

Last Week’s Rank: 5

Analysis: Perhaps I should rank him higher after his Louisiana Derby romp, but I just wasn’t overly impressed with the final time or the way he finished up on his wrong lead. He certainly could move up if other prep races disappoint me over the next three weeks, but as of now I feel like I’ve ranked him in the right spot. Still could be improving though, and the Kentucky Derby will be his third race off of a layoff so that is a big positive.
